I have never driven a stock fb that rode as solid and precise as this car. The steeriing is tight, the car is quiet, the idle is as solid as a rock, no bounce at all! The AC blows ice cold. It really is like driving a new car.
I have always owned gsl-se's (never driven anything but an se) and one thing I must say is the stock brakes on the gs really suck! I totally forgot that it had different brakes....

The guy had 10 guys lined up if I didn't buy it, 9 of them out of state and one as far away as Chicago. I ment to buy this car the first time it was on ebay but forgot to bid. The winning bidder decided after driving it for a few weeks that his arthritis in his left knee prevented him from driving a five speed so he had to re-list it for sale.

Stunning. Absolutely stunning.
Nice find. I hope it stays safe and sound.
Are you modding this or keeping it stock?

Thats a very clean car. To bad theres an equally nice GSL here in utah going for $2900. In fact you should of bought this 10th AE up here thats going for $3k (he's had no luck selling it but it should sell for $2500). I've never seen that car you bought but that is damn nice especially considering what utah weather does to cars.

Sure, steal one of the few fbs in Utah. Jerk! Just kidding. Good luck with it and I'm glad to hear your trip went OK. How did you like Utah. Nevermind, don't answer that!!! Good luck.

I wasn't looking for a gsl, I already have a gsl-se and was looking for an S or GS model since they don't have sunroofs and are lighter. The gray interior was also a big plus. This car was exactly what I was looking for.
And for the 10th AE, Sorry but I have no desire to ever own a second gen.

so you probably won't miss it. All I saw of Utah was Salt Lake City Airport (seller met me there) and the 15 freeway 
I drove straight outta there like a man on a mission. I wish I had time to sight see. Those red rock canyons you travel through as you head south on I-15 were beautifull as were all the snow covered mountains.

yeah and I still cant get over it. RotaryRevn called me on his way back to LA (while he was in UT). Instead of saying drive safely, I told him to stop at Vegas or Stateline. Personally I would. who knows, I may win the $$ back . BTW, I may end up with my bro's clean GSL-SE

Kind of the same deal with my FC. Originated in calfornia for the first 12 years and spent 1 year in utah before I bought it. Its so clean underneath and not a spot of rust. My GTu however is a year newer and a utah car and its all rustin up underneath the chassis.
